A copper(II) complex with 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxylic acid was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. 8-Hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxylic acid acted as a dibasic tridentate ligand to form a neutral mononuclear complex with a distorted square-pyramidal geometry with two water molecules.
